The sea of life

"Isn't always about how long..."

"You should be happy every damn second of your life you deserve it..."

"It's about pain, it's about happiness..."

"Make every second worth it..."

KHRYZ'S POINT OF VIEW

"Sing," I called him but he just looking from afar. He didn't even move a little bit. I received a tap from behind from his mom.

"Khryz, just let him like that." She invited me to the sala. Leaving Sing alone to the balcony.

"Tita, what's wrong with him? He's cold. It's like he's not the Sing that I know." Tita held my hands. And smile at me even I clearly see her pain. 

"Just stay with him can you?"

"Yes, I will."

"He is just pretending that he doesn't know all of us." My eyes grew too wide when I heard that.

"W-what?" Pumatak ang luha ni Tita Solene.

"Remember when you and him fought?" I nodded. "He is just faking it."

"W-why?" I swallow hard because I felt something blocking my throat making me hard to speak.

"He wants you to stay away from him. H-he thought in that way you can move on and choose to run away from him. H-he don't want to see you all suffering. He's acting so that if time goes on and he doesn't remember all of us. We know how to deal with him."

"H-he's hurting us." Tita gives me sympathetic smile.

"I know—" I cut her to continue my sentence.

"But he is hurting himself more than us." I cannot imagine how painful it was for him.

"He is my treasure, Khyrz. He is the only thing that I have. I'm scared that I might lose him too, like his father."

"T-tita..." She wiped her tears.

"It's hurt like hell khryz but you need to endure it. T-that's the only thing you need to do. B-be strong. And smile even the situation getting worst." Tita's words mark in my mind.

"I will tita..."

"Where we are going?" Sing asked. He is giving us a cold stare. Nasa byahe kami ngayon. I asked all of our close friends to come with us. Me, Sing, Kryp, Von, and Lee. Ross has work that's why he can't come with us. He's also the one who's going to take care of Chimon, their son. The same with Ross his friends they're all busy too. But it's okay. Our original gang is the most important. I want to make Sing happy even if he's pretending.

"Somewhere. You can sleep first." He just nodded and looked outside of the window. I received smiles from my twin and others. I just nodded at them. I know they understand it. I'm okay. And I will not surrender.
